Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Fielder contingency model, the most effective leadership style depends on the situational dimensions of task structure, leader-member relations, and position power. In this scenario, seeking to achieve high task structure, good leader-member relations, and strong position power would give managers maximum control, as they would have clear guidelines for tasks, positive relationships with employees, and the authority to make decisions and enforce consequences. Other options, such as limited position power (B, E) or less structured jobs (C, D), would limit a manager's ability to exert control over the situation.
